Two weeks and we will be on the road heading to Michigan. We have decided to go to Michigan visit with my bestfriend and her family. Have not seen her for 6 plus years (she was not home 5 years ago when we were back there) She has never seen my little guy face to face (only in pics) and all three of her kids will be home while Aunt Dawn is there :) Hers are 11, 19 and 22 ...... so I am stoked to see my extra niece and nephews while we are back there also. Then am thinking of surprising DH with a trip to the Ford Museum (it is about an hour and half from my daddys place) and DH bday is August 3rd.....He LOVES Fords and wants to REALLY go there but says we dont have the extra money..... so I think he will be greatly surprised !!! Then we will meet up at my brothers house in Indiana on Friday to set up and get ready for Grannys Big day.....on Saturday. I cant wait :)
Do you have that person in your life that is your strong hold, the wind beneath your wings (besides your DH or DW or children) Welp my Granny is Awesome...... She had my dad at 18 and back then you GOT married that was it...... then in 1975 she got me, my brother and sister. Our mom left decided she did not want any of our family including our father to see us and the court said NO you have to give them visitation...... so she decided if she couldnt have us to her self she did not and would not share.... My granny stepped up to the plate and took on a 3, 5, and 7 year old ...... And let me tell you at 7 years old and not understanding anything but that I was confused and hurting deep inside...... I gave Granny HELL ......for along time.....She said DONT and I DID she said DO and I DIDNT..... beyond just everyday rebellion ....... I put her to the test. And today I am proud to say I am the woman I am ....... because of HER. She Loved me through alot but more then that she LIKED me through even more....... Sometimes it was TOUGH LOVE, but all the time it was UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...... She was here when my little guy was born, she was on the phone for hours on end when we lost a baby in 2006. She was here when I found out I had cancer...... she dropped everything and got on the first plane she could cause I NEEDED her.... Needed to just have her close...... I am truly blessed to know her... she is an Angel.... and she is MY Granny !!!!!!!! I just cant wait to celebrate her 80th bday with her and how she will be so proud of the family she has held together, held up and is the head of :) Granny you ROCK
I am sooooooo ready for our trip ...... I told DH we will start packing next week. He was like dang why so early ........welp cause I only have off this Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and next Wednesday so next Wednesday I want everything but undies and shoes and shaving bags packed....... I want to leave bright and early on the 27th....... I dont want to be LOOKIN for something like we usually are ......even when we are just trying to get out the door for a cookout with his sister and her family......
Breakfast was:
1 1/2 cup multi grain cherrios
1/2 cup 2% milk
Lunch was:
1 kashi bar
1 banana
3 bite size candys
Dinner was:
1 1/2 cup rice with corn
1 turkey cheese sausage
Snacks were:
2 cups mixed apples chuncks and grapes
5 bottles of water
exercise was NOTHING
Today I changed one thing.......and need to work on changing a few more LOL
but I am hypothyroid so I have to take my medicine one hour before I eat or 3 hours after I eat.....
So this morning when I got up (like 5 am) to use the restroom I TOOK my thyroid meds
So when I got back up at 7:30 I could eat breakfast...... I do believe I will continue to do this....then I will have time for breakfast........ I will be working on getting 30 minutes on the wii fit started within 30 minutes after I get up in the mornings.......if I get this done then I can get exercise out of the way before I get ready for work........ should work right........welp if I take some hints from Bonnie on NoMoreStinkingThinking and shut my tv off and limit my time to the computer.....I need to continue to CHOOSE ME
Have a great night

Dawn you are such a sweetie! Where in Indiana are you going? My sister lives in Fort Wayne. We went to the Ford Museum the year we were up that way visiting. I took DH and his parent's visiting us for the first time from NZ to Fort Wayne for my oldest nieces high school graduation. They got to meet all of my hill billy relatives from Indiana. It was a load of fun! Hope you that you have a great time with your Granny. What a wonderful woman--her influence has obviously rubbed off on you! You are doing great!!! Blessings-Bonnie
Bonnie.... we are going to Franklin, (just outside of Indianapolis) But my sister lives in Traverse City Michigan (upper part of the lower penisula) and my daddy lives out side of Coldwater Michigan. How did you guys like the Ford Museum?? You dont know how much I miss the midwest.... especially in the summer LOL
have a great day and Keep On Keepin On
